Doin' It (Raashan Ahmad & Thes One)
Written by: Christopher Portugal & Raashan Ahmad
[Sung sample:] We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
Doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
We're doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
([Raashan Ahmad:] Ha haaa
[Thes One:] Yes, yes, y'all…
[Raashan Ahmad:] You are now rockin' with us, true and live… yo, y'all better choose this… Yes, yes, y'all… c'mon…)
[Thes One:]
Doin' it, pursuing it, something to flow to
Eddie Bo, true, I roll through
City or your whole crew and hold you with style
Pick it up later, across the cross-fader
Rhyme side of the soundtrack
Seventies blaxploitation'll rock the nations
Made for macks, sitting in the backs of Cadillacs
Attacks the second I contact the wax
Breaking your backs, in a circle, Herculoid Jordans
Pants is still saggin', America's funkiest
Home rap demos, and walls, he's still taggin'
It's that b-boy blood, to run amok through the mud
Underground, making the Los Angeles sound profound
Take a trip down the 10 just to visit a friend
Put your party pants on, yo, we doin' it again
With the funky 45 loop, and plus a smooth blend
Put your party pants on, man, ay-yo, we doin' it again
And we're…
[Sung sample:] Doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
We're doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
([Raashan Ahmad:] Ha haaa… c'mon!
[Thes One:] C'mon!
[Raashan Ahmad:] Say what, say what, say what?
[Thes One:] Do it on time, y'all…
[Raashan Ahmad:] Yeah…
[Thes One:] Yeah… uh…
[Raashan Ahmad:] Yeah, right now… Keep on doin' it, y'all… It's from the soul! Uh… yo… yo…)
[Raashan Ahmad:]
Yo, it's the mic commander, cold but clutching amplified steel
Verbalize, the ultimate mellow man, the mastermind
Rhyme festival, marathon MCing with my dream
Fighting everyday grays, TVs, magazines
Buzzed, bust intellect, brown tone, microphone
Hold bombs, party on, 1990 'til the song
(Raise your arms!) skybound, all praising to the sound
Boogie down music views with mad culture
Rap's ultra, sleigh bells ringin' the alarm
Tron beats with the heat treats, sun Larry shine
Champion I is, up out the abstract
And spring back to the melody, love is what it's telling me
Bailing free and maxing, reclining and relaxing
Blasting gospel soul, Miss Mahalia Jackson
Banging out the singin', rockin' in a frenzy
Ripping microphones from Wednesday to Wednesday
[Sung sample:] Doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
We're doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
Doin' it!
([Raashan Ahmad:] Yeah! What, what, what! That's right, y'all! We got the soul! Keep on rocking… keep on rocking, c'mon! Got a girl in hot pants… that's right…
[Thes One:] You, you, you over there… we doin' it!)
[Spoken sample:] Do it!
[Thes One:] I missed the master, the funky mass at five o'clock
Passed up, the before in the aftermath of prime factor
The wrath of the watercraft, sunk in the Nile funk lagoon
So fuck the Neptunes, my rap tune's soon to bloom
And rise to the price of a nice folder bloom
A hip-hop pirate that takes mics, don't try it
Hand over your girl, sit down and be quiet
[Raashan Ahmad:] Ay-yo, I'm hyped for the mic, I got a turntable touch
I still limp when I walk and say "fresh" too much
With that boom bap, yo, straight Microphone Fiend
Who help magic happen like cool, bad Kareem
Assistance, lyricists get the tone tapes who
Can't get enough of everlasting bass and everlasting breaks
We bring the fury you crave, and snatch the microphone away
From record company slaves and keep…
[Sung sample:] Doin' it! We know it…
We got thang in our soul to show it…
We're doin' it! We know it… ([Spoken sample:] Do it!)
We got thang in our soul to show it…
([Raashan Ahmad:] Keep doin' it, y'all…
[Thes One:] We doin' that shit… yeah, my beats…
[Raashan Ahmad:] You don't stop, y'all… yo, get y'all… uh huh, say what, say what, say yeah… that's right, y'all…
[Thes One:] C'mon…
[Raashan Ahmad:] Yo, we got it, ya know?
[Thes One:] Yes we do!
[Raashan Ahmad:] Pride in the soul… ha!
[Thes One:] Keep it on, keep it on, keep it on.)
[Raashan Ahmad:] Say what, say what, say what?
[Thes One:] Put it on… Put it down right here!
[Raashan Ahmad:] Raise your hands to the sky, y'all!
[Thes One:] C'mon!
[Sung sample:] Put it in the air!
[Raashan Ahmad:] That's right! Everybody's ??
[Sung sample:] Put it in the air!
[Thes One:] RRRRRR-RAH!
[Sung sample:] Put it in the air!
[Raashan Ahmad:] That's right, y'all…
[Thes One:] We gon' put it on…
[Sung sample:] Put it in the air!
Put it in the air!
